Apple should have known going into this that the diehard music lovers that buy the nano are going to need way more than 4GB of memory. 200GB of storage sounds a little more acceptable for the diehard music lover like myself. There is a nice step-by-step tutorial over at Uncyclopedia showing how to complete this task. Unfortunately the battery life for the nano lasts around six minutes, so that could hinder utilizing the full 200GB disk size.

The dust is beginning to settle on this issue. There's nothing I've seen so far to make me want to run right out the door to my local Cingular store to pick one up. What continues to come to the forefront is the battery life issue. From the Cingular site, " * All talk, data and standby times are approximate and depend on network configuration." I know that the CEO of Cingular was on the presentation of the phone in S.F. and talked about battery life. I haven't had the time to review his comments. Overall, yes the phone has some neat whistles and bells, and I'm sure they'll sell a bunch of them, at least initially. Me, I'm still looking for a workable cell phone.

Not the iPhone: "Was it a mistake for Apple to not release a full-blown iPhone or is there something more going on than meets the eye?"
